5x5 12 team basic yahoo winner league. I'm in first place by a good bit, mainly due to my awexome offense (the only category i'm doing poorly in is saves, and i'm middle of the road in wins and K's) Anyways, a guy offered me an interesting trade, basically asking me to swap my 2 elite hitters for his 2 elite pitchers. I'm worried that the trade will be too devastating to my offense. Here's the proposition:

Would I be stupid for rejecting this? As you can see I have a pretty stacked team already, but it's pretty hard to pass up on getting Lincecum AND Halladay. I feel like worst case scenario I could use Halladay or Lincecum as leverage and go after an elite closer.

Thanks for the input, I actually feel sort of aloof for even considering it. I sent a counter trade of Beltan & Hellickson for Lincecum & Bastardo. I have my reservations about Hellickson pitching the entire season and a DL stint is inevitable for Beltran.

If you can throw Oswalt into the mix along with Alvarez and try to grab Halladay as well, then it totally works out in your favor.

Not only does it free up bench space, but you're selling players that still have some value-just not for you.

Thats a much better trade for you then the original one. Hitters are way more valuable then pitchers since they contribute every day and pitchers only contribue 1-2 times a week. Plus Matt Kemp is a top 2 player in fantasy right now.
